12 of the best natural deodorants, according to the editors of Beauty and Wellness
Dr. Hauschka Rose Deodorant
“Deodorant is often one of those useful products, like toothpaste, that is a staple in your toiletry bag but doesn’t have to be luxurious or exciting. Or, I thought, until I discovered this heavenly fragrance from Dr. Hauschka. The rose scent is so pure and clean, like a seductive French fragrance, and the gentle formula leaves my blemishes so pampered. If you doubt whether your deodorant can satisfy you, you haven’t tried this one. ” – Tara Rasmusliterary beauty
Schmidt’s Stick Bergamot & Lime Deodorant

I love that this product is all natural, non-drying, non-greasy and smells fresh. ” – Liz Teichfashion stylist and blogger at New York Stylist
Malin + Deodorant Eucalyptus Goetz

I love the fresh scent — and the fact that none of my t-shirts are yellowed anymore. “– Lauren Carusofashion editor and creative consultant
“I am strangely addicted to the scent of this deodorant. It has a slight medicinal smell but in a lovely, soothing way. In general, I’m a pretty sweaty person, so I also struggle with natural deodorants. wet (sorry) under my arms, but this one went smoothly and still is. Unless I’m doing something seriously active, I don’t feel the need to reapply during the day, which I usually do with natural deodorants.” – Caitlin Clark, contributing editor
Herban Cowboy Natural Grooming Deodorant in Dusk

Meow Meow Tweet Deodorant Cream
“I’m not the kind of woman who drops a thin sweat. I’m a thick sweater and I have yellow underarm stains to prove it. I was looking to switch to natural because I heard they got rid of the entire staining problem thanks to the lack of aluminum. Then this beautiful little magnesium and baking soda deodorant tube arrived on my doorstep and everything changed. Not only does it control my perspiration, but it smells great and is – as I had hoped – no more yellow. I’ve been wearing light colored shirts and have been left out ever since. ” – Megan McIntyreliterary beauty
Arm & Hammer Essentials Deodorant Roller
“I hate to say it, but I tried much cute branded natural deodorants and found that none of them worked for me. In fact, I feel like they make me smell worse… ew! When a friend introduces Arm & Hammer Essentials Deodorant Roller, I was skeptical, but willing to try. To my surprise, it works! Really like this tool and I feel it provides the right level of protection, but without aluminum or parabens. Yay! ” – Chanel Drorwriter and editor
Corpus Naturals Third Rose Deodorant
“This is the only natural deodorant (and I’ve tried nearly all of them) that really works, as I don’t get underarm sweat (and therefore no smell) when I use it. Don’t just take my word for it, read 93 reviews for Third Rose Water (my favorite scent) because they say the same thing! The other plus is that it doesn’t run down my arms after sweating during a workout (yes, lots of other brands have done this and even stained my clothes!), it doesn’t burn my skin. mine and it doesn’t have an overpowering scent.
“My husband and teenage son are huge fans too and that’s saying something! My favorite scent is the Third Rose Water with rose, mandarin, violet, and cedar root but my husband likes it. Cedar Flora Fragrance with cedar, white musk, jasmine, and guaiac wood. It’s certainly on the more expensive side, but it lasts a long time and if it works, it’s worth it. It’s also one of the best looking IMOs on the market. ” – Sacha Strebe, deputy editor
Crystalline Mineral Deodorant
“When my sister first introduced this age-old pharmacy brand many years ago, I was skeptical, to say the least. I went through the entire range of natural deodorants and found myself with few viable options (thanks to my sensitivities to baking soda and galangal.) But this affordable roll-on deodorant has become a no-brainer. become my daily goal. I love the smell of lavender, how gentle it is on my skin, and the fact that it really works. I will file a second application at midday in the hot and humid summer, but if not, I will have to apply.” – Lourdes Avila Uribe, contributing editor
Cowshed deodorant spray
“IIf you are not familiar with the Soho House apothecary line, allow me to introduce you to your new product line, Byre. Many years ago, during my stay at Soho Beach House in Miami, it was love from the first scent. Since then, I’ve coveted everything from Cowshed’s collection, from lotion to body wash. One of my personal favorites is their gender-neutral deodorant, which features organic aloe vera, mint, and lemongrass extracts for a refreshing sensation that lasts for hours. ” – Anne Campbell, contributing editor

I like how accessible it is. I usually just shoot it during my Whole Foods runs and it uses essential oils to rebalance your natural musk. If your skin can tolerate oily perfumes, then give this one a try. And don’t worry, it has never soiled my clothes. I usually keep one in my bag and another on my desk for a quick quick look on particularly bad days. ” – Lourdes Avila Uribe, contributing editor
Fat and the Moon acne cream for sensitive skin
“I have very sensitive skin and in the summer, when I shaved my armpits regularly, other natural deodorants caused frantic flare-ups and rashes. Eep! This cream is lightly scented with vetiver and basil (which I love) and doesn’t have baking soda which can be a big culprit for breakouts with natural deo. It’s moisturizing and never leaves white marks – I’ve tried so many others but always come back to this product. Love and cherish!” – Lauren Zielinski, contributing editor
Pure lavender scent deodorant
“I’ve tried countless non-toxic deodorants, and here’s what I’ve tried and true. Not only does it last all day, but the scent is subtle and the ingredients are gentle (and organic!).
